NUMBER 2 2 24 AUGUST I7, I 965 The Biology and Immature Stages of Melitturga clavicornis (Latreille) and of Sphecodes albilabris (Kirby) and the Recognition of the Oxaeidae at the Family Level (Hymenoptera, Apoidea) BYJEROME G. ROZEN, JR.' Michener (1944) divided the andrenid subfamily Panurginae into two tribes, the Panurgini and Melitturgini, with the latter containing the single Old World genus Melitturga. This genus was relegated to tribal status apparently on the grounds that the adults, unlike those of other panurgines, bear certain striking resemblances to the essentially Neo- tropical Oxaeinae of the same family. In 1951 Rozen showed that the male genitalia of Melitturga are unlike those of the Oxaeinae and are not only typical of those of the Panurginae in general but quite like those of the Camptopoeum-Panurgus-Panurginus-Epimethea complex within the sub- family. On the basis of this information, Michener (1954a) abandoned the idea that the genus Melitturga represents a distinct tribe of the Panur- ginae. Recently evidence in the form of the larva of Protoxaea gloriosa Fox (Rozen, 1965) suggested that the Oxaeinae were so unlike other Andreni- dae that they should be removed from the family unless some form inter- 1 Chairman and Associate Curator, Department of Entomology, the American Museum of Natural History. 2 AMERICAN MUSEUM NOVITATES NO. 2224 mediate between the two subfamilies is found.

Introduction In the Afrotropical region the family Andrenidae is represented by more than 30 species (EARDLEY & URBAN 2010). The Eritrean fauna of of the family Andrenidae is poorly known. The knowledge is based on the material collected by J.K. Lord in 1869 and by P. Magretti in 1900. No further material is known. Up to date two species each of the subfamilies Andreninae (genus Andrena FABRICIUS, 1775) and Panurginae (genera Borgatomelissa PATINY, 2000 and Meliturgula FRIESE, 1903) have been recorded from Eritrea.

  • The History of Early Bee Diversification Based on Five Genes Plus Morphology

Michener, University of Kansas, Lawrence, KS, May 16, 2006 (received for review February 2, 2006) Bees, the largest (>16,000 species) and most important radiation of tongued (LT) bee families Megachilidae and Apidae and the pollinating insects, originated in early to mid-Cretaceous, roughly short-tongued (ST) bee families Colletidae, Stenotritidae, Andreni- in synchrony with the angiosperms (flowering plants).

  • Insect Egg Size and Shape Evolve with Ecology but Not Developmental Rate Samuel H
    ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-019-1302-4 Insect egg size and shape evolve with ecology but not developmental rate Samuel H. Church1,4*, Seth Donoughe1,3,4, Bruno A. S. de Medeiros1 & Cassandra G. Extavour1,2* Over the course of evolution, organism size has diversified markedly. Changes in size are thought to have occurred because of developmental, morphological and/or ecological pressures. To perform phylogenetic tests of the potential effects of these pressures, here we generated a dataset of more than ten thousand descriptions of insect eggs, and combined these with genetic and life-history datasets. We show that, across eight orders of magnitude of variation in egg volume, the relationship between size and shape itself evolves, such that previously predicted global patterns of scaling do not adequately explain the diversity in egg shapes. We show that egg size is not correlated with developmental rate and that, for many insects, egg size is not correlated with adult body size. Instead, we find that the evolution of parasitoidism and aquatic oviposition help to explain the diversification in the size and shape of insect eggs. Our study suggests that where eggs are laid, rather than universal allometric constants, underlies the evolution of insect egg size and shape. Size is a fundamental factor in many biological processes. The size of an 526 families and every currently described extant hexapod order24 organism may affect interactions both with other organisms and with (Fig. 1a and Supplementary Fig. 1). We combined this dataset with the environment1,2, it scales with features of morphology and physi- backbone hexapod phylogenies25,26 that we enriched to include taxa ology3, and larger animals often have higher fitness4.

  • A DNA Barcode-Based Survey of Wild Urban Bees in the Loire Valley, France
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN A DNA barcode‑based survey of wild urban bees in the Loire Valley, France Irene Villalta1*, Romain Ledet2, Mathilde Baude2, David Genoud3, Christophe Bouget4, Maxime Cornillon5, Sébastien Moreau1, Béatrice Courtial6 & Carlos Lopez‑Vaamonde1,6 The current decline of wild bees puts important ecosystem services such as pollination at risk. Both inventory and monitoring programs are needed to understand the causes of wild bee decline. Efective insect monitoring relies on both mass‑trapping methods coupled with rapid and accurate identifcations. Identifying wild bees using only morphology can be challenging, in particular, specimens from mass‑trapped samples which are often in poor condition. We generated DNA barcodes for 2931 specimens representing 157 species (156 named and one unnamed species) and 28 genera. Automated cluster delineation reveals 172 BINs (Barcodes Index Numbers). A total of 36 species (22.93%) were found in highly urbanized areas. The majority of specimens, representing 96.17% of the species barcoded form reciprocally exclusive groups, allowing their unambiguous identifcation. This includes several closely related species notoriously difcult to identify. A total of 137 species (87.26%) show a “one‑to‑one” match between a named species and the BIN assignment. Fourteen species (8.92%) show deep conspecifc lineages with no apparent morphological diferentiation. Only two species pairs shared the same BIN making their identifcation with DNA barcodes alone uncertain. Therefore, our DNA barcoding reference library allows reliable identifcation by non‑experts for the vast majority of wild bee species in the Loire Valley. Long-term monitoring programs have documented a sharp decline of insects1–5.

  • Partial Mowing of Urban Lawns Supports Higher Abundances and Diversities of Insects
    Journal of Insect Conservation https://doi.org/10.1007/s10841-021-00331-w ORIGINAL PAPER Partial mowing of urban lawns supports higher abundances and diversities of insects Jennifer Wintergerst1 · Tommy Kästner2 · Manuela Bartel3 · Christian Schmidt3 · Matthias Nuss3 Received: 11 December 2020 / Accepted: 4 June 2021 © The Author(s) 2021 Abstract Within the citizen science project “Flowering meadows for Saxonian butterfies”, more than 640 meadows are partially and at maximum three times annually mowed in order to change urban lawns into habitats for insects. In 2019, insect diversity was evaluated using the 100 sweep net technique during fve visits at nine butterfy meadows (BM) and nine intensively mowed lawns (IML). The mean arthropod biomass of these fve visits per site is signifcantly higher on BM compared to IML. All adult individuals of Apidae, Coleoptera, Heteroptera, Orthoptera, Papilionoidea as well as Asilidae and Syrphidae have been identifed morphologically, revealing 260 species from all study sites. The mean number of species per visit is signifcantly higher on BM compared to IML. 90 species are recorded as larva and the mean number of species per visit is signifcantly higher on BM compared to IML. 42 species are recorded as larva as well as adult. The records of larvae provide evidence for reproduction on the meadows. Implications for insect conservation Our results clearly demonstrate that a reduced mowing frequency together with an always partial mowing of the area support higher biomass, abundances and diversities of insects as well as reproduction of insects on urban lawns. Therefore, reduced mowing frequency together with partial mowing is recommended for urban lawns as well as meadows in the countryside and conservation areas to foster insect diversity.

Some other authors treat A. gallica as a subspecies of A. as- similis, others assert that both A. gallica and A. assimilis are valid species. After analysing the morphological features, we confirm that they should be treated as two distinct spe- cies. The following characters help to separate A. gallica from A. assimilis: in the case of females – the colouration of the stigma and veins in the forewing, in the case of males – the microsculpture of the surface of the metasomal terga, the punctation of terga II–III, and the width of the edeagus. Andrena gallica was reported in Poland in the first half of the twentieth century from the following regions: Baltic Coast, Kraków-Wieluń Up- land, Małopolska Upland, and Wielkopolska-Kujawy Lowland. Due to the synonymy, these records were included in the distribution of A.
